Modern Convertible Travel Backpack

Fabulous backpack. My fourth and final attempt at finding the perfect backpack. I love the secure area for my iPad. I love the fact that I can open it like a suitcase or open it from the top. It has a sleeve to fit over your suitcase handle. It can also be carried over your shoulder or crossbody style. My only complaint is that I would love to be able to lock some of the zippers together. Well and that I wish it came in my favorite color, teal.

We now own three of these travel backpacks. That’s how much we like them. I was looking for a way to have a carry on bag that didn’t have to be lugged around on my shoulder. I also wanted to have as much space as a rolling carryon bag. This backpack is exactly that. It packs like a suitcase on one side and you flip it over to pack a laptop or iPad and any other travel essentials. It has a grab handle like a suitcase and straps like a backpack. It also includes a shoulder strap if that’s your preference. Wearing it as a backpack frees up your hands to drag a big checked bag or to easily reach for documents or ID or whatever other items you need to get through security. We use them for cruises. We check the big bag with the porters and walk on with a backpack each. We can easily put a change of clothes, medications, swim suits and toiletry items in it. There’s lots of nice storage pockets for all your electronics too. It’s a very well thought out bag and it’s lightweight and made very well. Highly recommend.

I travel 20 to 26 weeks a year. I saw this bag at the Charlotte airport. It is not inexpensive but I really found it well-made and has lots of storage options. The fact you can open it like a backpack or lay on its side and open it all the way around like a suitcase is wonderful. I also appreciate the separate compartment for my laptop and other items. It comes with a shoulder strap but also backpack straps And two grab straps so it is really easy to manoeuvre. The only thing I will warn you is it is pretty big. It is fantastic to fly as it will fit under the seat in front of your roller board in the Overhead space but as for a backpack to wear while you’re exploring Europe for example it might run a little big for that. It is extremely well-made padded and all the right places Fabulously easy to clean fabric and lots of organising easy access pockets. I simply cannot rave about this bag enough. I ordered the Pettitt sera plum and the colour was exactly as shown. This might be one of my best reviews of the year. It’s simply a wonderful product.

I loved this except that my 40 oz tumbler would not fit in the side pocket. I travel all the time and a large tumbler is a must that I will not sacrifice, especially on the international flights. I am a carry-on, only traveler, and if the tumbler had fit this backpack would’ve been perfect.

I have purchased several personal item bags from Calpak (Lukka Duffle and Connect Laptop Backpack) and PacSafe (the CX Anti-Theft Backpack). There are things I love about each of them, but after our last trip to Mexico City I realized I needed to look for a bag that had specific features — at least 25 liters, multiple external pockets, ability to tuck away the backpack straps while using as a duffle) and relatively lightweight. This bag checks all the boxes, plus it looks great.

This is a bag with good design and functionality as a personal item for air travel. We recently took it to a trip to Australia for 2 weeks. However, during the first day on our way to the airport, the strap clip to the backpack snapped, and happened again every few minutes, so we had to hand hold the bag for a week until we bought a large needle and a sewing kit to tie the strap pieces together. This may be an exception with defect as we have another bag of different color with no such issue. We can tell the bad clips are loose compared to the good ones. We will ask for an exchange or a refund.

This is the travel backpack that made me stop shopping for travel backpacks. I frequently travel internationally for work and this bag has allowed me to go carry-on only for a 2-week trip to India. I love that it allows access from the top as well as folding out suitcase-style with the wraparound zipper. Thoughtfully placed pockets, plenty of room for phone, passport, and travel docs in the small front pockets. Adjustable stowaway straps and the luggage sleeve are nice touches. The fabric is lightweight and durable and the zippers work so smoothly. Yes, it is technically bigger than personal item size, but I've never had it questioned at the airport and it fits nicely under the seat of all aircraft I've traveled on. Have traveled on British, Lufthansa, IndiGo, American, Delta, and United without issue. Comfortable to wear with the padded straps. It can get heavy if packed full so just be aware of that. My only complaint is the oddly placed zip pocket on the side, which lays inside the main compartment making it difficult to put anything in this pocket if the bag is packed tightly.

Zippers and pulls break all the time Do not get this
